TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT
This TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into by and
between the CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS (the "City"), a home rule municipal
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas and acting by and through Tom
Higgins, its duly authorized Assistant City Manager, and EL HABR CORPORATION, INC., a
Texas corporation doing business as MICHEL'S TIFFANY DOORS ("Company"), acting by
and through Michel E. El-Habr, its duly authorized President.
The City Council of the City of Fort Worth ("City Council") hereby finds and the parties
hereby agree that the following statements are true and correct and constitute the basis upon which
the parties have entered into this Agreement:
A. On June 13, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3363-06-2006, stating
that the City elects to be eligible to participate in tax abatement, as authorized by and in accordance
with the Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act, codified in Chapter 312 of the Texas
Tax Code, as amended (the "Code").
B. On November 27, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3556-11-2007,
approving a Relocation Incentives Policy (the "Relocation Incentives Policy") for qualifying
businesses that are displaced and must relocate due to a Major Public Infrastructure Project, as that
term is defined in the Relocation Incentives Policy. Tax abatement is one of the incentives
available under the Relocation Incentives Policy.
C. On February 28, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3318-02-2006,
finding that the State Highway 121 Project, as defined in Resolution No. 3318-02-2006, is a Major
Public Infrastructure Project and that, therefore, businesses that are displaced and must relocate on
account of the State Highway 121 Project are eligible for incentives pursuant to and in accordance
with the Relocation Incentives Policy.
D. Company currently operates its business at 4115 West Vickery Blvd. This property
has been acquired by the City and Company has been notified by the City that its business
operations there will be displaced by the State Highway 121 Project. Company desires to purchase
the property at 3030 West Pafford St. (the "Land"), as more specifically described in Exhibit
"A", attached hereto and hereby made a part of this Agreement for all purposes, and to relocate its
business operations on the Land. The Land is located within that area of the City defined by the
Relocation Incentives Policy as Area 2, which qualifies Company for tax abatement under the
Relocation Incentives Policy.

COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11/6/2007
DATE: Tuesday, November 06, 2007
LOG NAME: 17MCLEDRXAGR REFERENCE NO.: C-22516
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Tax Abatement Agreement with El Habr Corporation, Inc., d/b/a Michel's
Tiffany Doors, for Property at 3030 West Pafford Street
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached Tax Abatement Agreement with El Habr Corporation,
Inc., d/b/a Michel's Tiffany Doors; and
2. Find that the statements set forth in the recitals of the attached Tax Abatement Agreement are true and
correct.
DISCUSSION:
The real property subject to abatement in the attached Tax Abatement Agreement with El Habr Corporation,
Inc., d/b/a Michel's Tiffany Doors (Company) is located at 3030 Pafford Street in south Fort Worth. The City
Council designated this property as Tax Abatement Reinvestment Zone Number 63, City of Fort Worth,
Texas.
The Company currently operates at 4115 West Vickery Boulevard and is being displaced due to the
Southwest Parkway Project and applied for incentives under the City's Relocation Incentives Policy
approved by M&C-G 15045 (the Policy). Under the Policy, businesses that are displaced and must relocate
due to a Major Public Infrastructure Project would be eligible for incentives as outlined in the policy
guidelines. The level of incentive is dictated by locating in one of the three target areas outlined in the
Policy. The City Council has designated the Southwest Parkway Project as a Major Public Infrastructure
Project (Resolution No. 3318-02-2006).
As a result of the displacement, the Company will relocate to 3030 Pafford Street and occupy a 18,000
square foot facility. The proposed improvements are estimated to cost $546,000.
Under the Tax Abatement Agreement and in accordance with the Policy, the Company will receive a four-
year tax abatement on real and personal property improvements with a maximum abatement of 50 percent
annually. The projected value of the tax abatement over the four-year period is approximately $2,000.
The term of the abatement will begin on January 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the
required improvements are completed and unless sooner terminated, shall end on December 31 of the
fourth year following the year in which the required improvements were completed.
This reinvestment zone is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
